Drown

a thousand feet above
look down below
into the murky gray waters
i can see the shadow
of a person i cant see
one look and they are turned to stone
they sink away from me

am i so different?
i breathe and fail
im sorry if i am not
the perfect girl

you see my face
and cast me away
i could never be
so cold and unforgiving

so what if im bleeding
must i hide away
must i be like you
and dress my face with grace

ripped and torn
i have lost and found my lips
stabbed and tortured
i can see the truth
shoved and dropped
the rain is drowning in me

dont let them see you weak
they will tear you apart
dont let the tears fall
they wont be forgot
dont let out a shriek
it cant be heard
they dont care
they dont care
about us

their faces lie
their eyes deceive
their tongue is fake
and so it must be
cant you see?
cant you see?
their faces lie
their eyes deceive
their tongue is fake
and so it must be

and so they hate me
because i can see
dont let go of yourself
to appease the forgotten
drown they may be
drown they may be
